Wow that's crazy, the telluride has no good rating or safety for that type of impact. Damn

What are you talking about? Are you being sarcastic?

 

[stallion65]

Did u watch the video that side impact push that driver to the side. Are u being sarcastic?

 

[stallion65]

That would be broken ribs, neck, back

 

[stallion65]

I saw the rating(G) but that still looks like someone will be seriously hurt

The G rating MEANS that you would NOT be seriously hurt.

Thanks for the link. Although it would be nice to see better lights and child seat anchors, I can certainly live with this Thank you for sharing!

NP...yeah that would have been nice, but I’m very happy that the KT got the highest rating possible for collision and front collision avoidance. I bought the KT blindly hoping it would be rated safe based on other KIA vehicles.

As for the headlights, I upgraded it with LEDs and pretty happy with the results. As for the LATCH, it basically rates ease of use, not safety. My kids are teens so it doesn’t affect me.

What did you do to upgrade

What did you do to upgrade

Probably went to an aftermarket LED headlight bulbs https://www.kiatelluride.org/threads/headlight-led-upgrade.427/
